Circular Blade Depanelizer Now Includes XY Table
December 15, 2005 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — FKN Systek's K2000 motorized circular blade depanelizer claims to separate pre-scored PCBs without any waste, and now includes an XY table for improved board handling. It singulates PCB panels by passing the scoreline between two circular blades, which include front and back blade guards for safety. An adjustable upper front blade guide assures that only the scoreline can be passed to the cutting area.
When using the XY table, the operator places the PCB onto the guide rails of the table and brings the scoreline between the top and bottom blade guards to pass it to the cutting area. The motor-driven lower blade pulls the PCB through to separate the panels. Two cutting speeds are available for optimal PCB separation. Panels up to 12.5" long can be singulated.
The tooling plate for SIMM cards allows exact placement of the PCB matrix onto the moveable base. The plate is positioned on the right side for singulating the carrier strip on the left of the panels, and then moved to the other side to singulate the remaining carrier strip. Adjustable end stops for the tooling plate allow for exact positioning of the scoreline with the circular blades. Tooling pins and support rails for either side of the panel guarantee safe placement and support of the SIMM cards, and adjustable end stops ensure that there is no contact with the components on the cards.
